Charlie “The Edge” Venegas won the main event for the third consecutive week on Harley Night at Industry Speedway.

Venegas and Bobby “Boogaloo” Schwartz were side-by-side at the start with Schwartz gaining a slight advantage in turn one. Schwartz was marginally ahead as they exited turn two but Venegas’s inside line paid off when they got to turn three because Schwartz couldn’t muster enough space to pull down in front of Venegas and secure the position. Venegas assumed the lead as they rounded the bend and McConnell slipped underneath Schwartz for second. Venegas cruised the rest of the way to claim the victory. McConnell finished second, Schwartz was third, Buck Blair finished fourth, and Eddie Castro was fifth.

Castro kicked off the heats with a win over Tyson Burmeister. Venegas defeated Blair in the next heat for his first win. Schwartz was victorious ahead of John Marquez to finish round one.

Blair started round two with a win over Schwartz. Russell Green beat Mike Faria in the next heat. Castro won his second straight race in end the second round.

The final round began with Venegas beating Green for his second win. Schwartz defeated Castro for his second victory in the penultimate heat. Faria beat Burmeister to close out the heats.

Venegas won the first semi with Blair using the outside to get second and the other transfer into the main. Schwartz won the second semi with McConnell following him into the main. Castro won the Last Chance to book the final spot in the main.

Tim McGrath put together four smooth laps to win the Second Division Main Event. Brandon Leedy finished second, Bruce Marteney was third, Chris Jones finished fourth, and Bruce Marteney was fifth.

Aaron Fox decimated the field with runaway victories in all of his heats and in the Third Division Main Event. Tony DeAlmeida was second, Kevin Johnson finished third, and Kip McClain was fourth.

Kurtis Hamill stalked Dillon Ruml throughout the Youth First Division Main Event and his persistence paid off when he passed Ruml exiting the final corner to get the win.

Sebastian Palmese was victorious over Dominic Laney and Alyssa Smith in the Pee Wee Main Event.

Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen fought their way through traffic and then passed Dylan Beard and Crystal Laurie at the end of the third lap to take the lead in the Sidecar Main Event. Jones and Olsen held the lead during the last lap and claimed victory. Beard and Laurie were second, Scott Driggers and Casey Driggers finished third, and Brian Motis and Brandi McElroy were fourth.
